Synopsis for the SW N Atlantic including the Bahamas
1122 AM EDT Mon Mar 16 2026
.SYNOPSIS...Fresh to strong southerly winds and rough seas are ahead
of a front north of 28N, east of northeastern Florida. These
winds should shift to the W to NW this evening while following the
front eastward through early Tue. At the same time, a low pressure may
develop along the frontal boundary and move quickly northeastward.
The front will continue to move SE and extend from near Bermuda to
the central Bahamas on Wed while becoming stationary. Elsewhere,
a surface ridge extends southward from a high across 31N62W to
beyond the SE Florida. This high will continue to support fresh
to strong winds and rough seas south of 25N, including the
southeast Bahamas and Great Bahama Bank through Tue. By Tue
evening, the ridge will retreat eastward in response to the
aforementioned cold front. Thus, moderate to fresh winds and
moderate seas will prevail.
